preliminary exericse storyboards
Below are the storyboards my group and I made for our prelim. These were very useful when it came to filming as we knew which camera shots we needed beforehand and so it saved a lot of time.

Mac 5's preliminary exercise bloopers and outtakes
Below are Mac 5's (and friends) bloopers and outtakes...
As you can see it took a lot of takes to get the shots we used for our prelim.

Preliminary exercise
My group and I have finally finished our preliminary exercise for our music videos. Below is the finished product...
Overall, we all found making the prelim a lot harder than we thought it would be as continuity was a big issue. I found it was very hard to stay in one place for a long time and so when we had to film shots again I was sometimes in a different position. This meant added time up in the editing suite trying to make our music video run smoothly.
Another issue was our camera ran out of charge when we had just 3 shots left to film and so we had to film on a different day. This meant that our original plan to film the flower scenes in town park had to be changed to filming in the school grounds.
My group and I also never realised just how long it would take to get the camera angles in the right position. This was mainly an issue when I had to hold my hand up to the sunlight as it took a while to get the camera in the right position for the shot.
When it came to editing I don't think any of my group realised how long it takes to edit a music video. Lip syncing was a major issue as it was very hard to get the lip singing in time to the music. My group and I are definitely going to have to practice this before we make our real music video.
I think that doing this task has been very beneficial for my group as we have had some practice as to how to make a music video. This means hopefully making our real music video will be a lot more easier and smoother than if we hadn't done the prelim task. This task has also made me appreciate music videos more as I have seen just how much work goes into making a short video.

Preliminary music video decision
After many days of deciding on a song my group and I finally decided on the song 'We'll be the stars' by Sabrina Carpenter. We are going to film it tomorrow in the town park. We chose a close location so as if we need to reshoot anything we are able to fairly easily. Below is the music video...
